Romantic partner or business partner?

[Guest]

Unless I'm at work or they mention new business deals, I usually assume romantic partners. However, in my experience in the past decade, most people that I have ever met that used "partner" are usually people from the LGBT+ community.

Usually the context is enough to determine what is being said.

Well if they're talking about business I'd assume business partner. Otherwise I'd assume romantic partner. Unless they're playing tennis or something lol. It is confusing.

My sister says partner. I guess it's better than saying boyfriend and girlfriend in your thirties but just barely.

Business partner, if I'm tired, someone else can help.
